Two years after former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to prison for child sexual abuse (<a href="http://www.metafilter.com/118175/Call-no-man-happy-till-he-is-dead">previously</a>), <a href="http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2014/09/08/ncaa-restores-penn-states-football-scholarships-postseason-eligibility/15293041/">the NCAA has lifted all remaining sanctions against Penn State</a> and reinstated postseason eligilibity effective immediately, and a full roster of football scholarships starting in the 2015-2016 year. The NCAA decision came as a result of former <a href="http://www.dlapiper.com/~/media/Files/Insights/Publications/2014/09/NCAAMonitorsSecondAnnualReport.pdf">Senator George Mitchell's oversight report (PDF)</a> proclaiming "significant progress toward ensuring its athletics department functions with integrity" after the Sandusky case. The report was Mitchell's second annual review of Penn State's compliance with the Athletics Integrity Agreement established in 2012, a period originally scheduled to last for 4 years. Also according to the NCAA statement, Mitchell's oversight may also conclude "substantially earlier" than 2017, the date set forth in the original agreement between the NCAA and Penn State.
"Penn State has made remarkable progress over the past year," said Harris Pastides, University of South Carolina president and a NCAA board member. "The board members and I believe the Executive Committee's decision is the right one. It allows both the university and the association to continue to move toward a common goal of ensuring that educating, nurturing and protecting young people is a top priority." tag:metafilter.com,2014:site.142577Mon, 08 Sep 2014 12:31:09 -08002bucksplusCommonwealth of Pennsylvania v. National Collegiate Athletic Associationhttp://www.metafilter.com/123412/Commonwealth%2Dof%2DPennsylvania%2Dv%2DNational%2DCollegiate%2DAthletic%2DAssociation
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett filed a <a href="http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2013/01/ncaa_lawsuit.html">federal anti-trust lawsuit</a> against the National Collegiate Athletic Association today. Announcing the suit at a press conference this morning, Corbett claimed that the NCAA <a href="http://www.blackshoediaries.com/2013/1/2/3827676/pennsylvania-anti-trust-lawsuit-ncaa-corbett-emmert-sanctions">"seized upon the opportunity for publicity on the backs of the citizens of the Commonwealth"</a>. The suit seeks vacation of all of the sanctions levied against Penn State University by the NCAA (<a href="http://www.metafilter.com/118175/Call-no-man-happy-till-he-is-dead">previously</a>) after the release of the Freeh Report (<a href="http://www.metafilter.com/117815/Report-finds-Penn-State-president-Paterno-concealed-facts-about-Sandusky-sex-abuse">previously</a>) on the University's improper handling of allegations of sexual abuse against Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky (<a href="http://www.metafilter.com/109172/Sandusky-Charged">previously</a>). Responding to the lawsuit, the NCAA called the lawsuit <a href="http://onwardstate.com/2013/01/02/ncaa-issues-statement-in-response-to-corbett-lawsuit/">"an affront to all of the victims in this tragedy"</a>. Corbett, who has <a href="http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/7770996/in-wake-joe-paterno-death-sandusky-sex-abuse-scandal-power-struggle-spread-penn-state-state-capital">faced criticism</a> for his slow-moving but ultimately successful investigation of the abuse and his <a href="http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/12/gov_tom_corbetts_team_defends.html">close ties to Sandusky's Second Mile charity</a>, is pursuing the case on behalf of the citizens of the Commonwealth rather than the University, which <a href="http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2013/01/penn_state_distances_itself_fr.html">has stated</a> that it is "committed to full compliance" with the sanctions, and is not a party to the lawsuit. tag:metafilter.com,2013:site.123412Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:55:40 -0800tonycpsuReport finds Penn State president, Paterno concealed facts about Sandusky sex abusehttp://www.metafilter.com/117815/Report%2Dfinds%2DPenn%2DState%2Dpresident%2DPaterno%2Dconcealed%2Dfacts%2Dabout%2DSandusky%2Dsex%2Dabuse

The report says that five boys were assaulted by Sandusky on university property after officials knew about a 1998 criminal investigation.</blockquote> tag:metafilter.com,2012:site.117815Thu, 12 Jul 2012 08:01:52 -0800ericbJoe Paterno, Graham Spanier firedhttp://www.metafilter.com/109309/Joe%2DPaterno%2DGraham%2DSpanier%2Dfired
